Thanks to Jon Davies and everyone who volunteers at The @CinemaMuseum, another great French Sundae afternoon yesterday with director / writer Mathieu Kassovitz's La haine (1995) - the best of cinema connects in very good ways with other great cinema ! :https://t.co/iOIGfHgbMG pic.twitter.com/KyTNQXCGib— THE AGENT APSLEY #ScrapUniversalCredit #JC4PM2019 (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) June 24, 2019
At The @CinemaMuseum this afternoon, at what is certainly the third of Jon Davies' French Sundaes to which #UCFF has been treated, it seemed apt to buy him a drink and have a post-film chat with him and others...— THE AGENT APSLEY #ScrapUniversalCredit #JC4PM2019 (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) June 23, 2019
So, although the affect is quite other, what about that sense of creeping doom that Haneke gives us in 71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance (1994) ? More directly, are their quotations of style and mood from Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing (1989) ?— THE AGENT APSLEY #ScrapUniversalCredit #JC4PM2019 (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) June 23, 2019
Talking of being in a film - but moments also seem self-consciously Godardian, specifically with the existential but small-time crookery of Michel Poiccard (Jean-Paul Belmondo) in À bout de souffle (1960), as echoed by Vinz (Vincent Cassel).— THE AGENT APSLEY #ScrapUniversalCredit #JC4PM2019 (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) June 23, 2019
In the cinema - what films are they ?
Maybe a feeling of Tom Waits, John Lurie, and Roberto Benigni in Jim Jarmusch's Down by Law (1986) ?— THE AGENT APSLEY #ScrapUniversalCredit #JC4PM2019 (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) June 23, 2019
In any case, a strong reminder of Qu’Allah bénisse la France ! (2014), which screened at @camfilmfest in 2015 - set in Strasbourg, and worth a watch ! :https://t.co/btsgoKJyo1
